What happens at the border
1
Apply for the eVisa online
Go to the official Guinea eVisa portal (if available) or check with the nearest Guinean embassy. Fill out the application form, upload a digital passport photo and a copy of your passport bio page, and pay the fee. Processing typically takes 3–7 business days.

Once approved, you'll receive an eVisa document via email. Print at least two copies — one to present at check-in and one for immigration on arrival. Also save a PDF on your phone as backup.

At the airport in Colombia, the airline will check your eVisa and onward ticket before issuing a boarding pass. Keep your passport, eVisa printout, and return ticket easily accessible.

Arrive at Conakry International Airport (CKY)
